New York’s dining scene is vast, but one particular element that is often discussed throughout the country is its pizza.
For those who crave or want to try a New York-style pizza but can’t travel to New York, there are some pizzerias elsewhere in the country that have their own delicious versions, writes Sanjay Surana for Islands.
Philadelphia is one of those cities.
If you’re in Philadelphia and want a New York-style slice of pizza, try Pizza Shackamaxon in Fishtown.
One Yelp review praised their slices as “Best pizza in Philly” and “Perfectly well done without asking.” This Yelp reviewer even claimed their pizzas are better than New York pizza.
While pizzas are only available via pickup or delivery, Pizza Shackamaxon offers a wide selection of options. This includes the classic cheese slice to a variety of weekly specials, such as Italian sausage, peppers, onions, and garlic. Another option is a slice with basil cream sauced with bubbled and crisped cheese.
